ICP - ESSEC Business and the Common Good Chair
The ICP-ESSEC Business and the Common Good Chair is a setting where students can explore the notion of “common good” in today’s society. The State no longer has sole responsibility for ensuring the common good. Companies must accept to play their part. The activities developed by the Chair enables students to work with partner companies as well as with Humanities students from the Catholic University of Paris (ICP). The courses discuss the notion of the common good from a dual perspective of management and humanities. Students also have the opportunity to explore, in the field, the practices of companies in terms of their contribution to the common good to evaluate their impact. The Chair is supported by companies from a wide range of sectors that are involved in a unique way in contributing to the common good.
The students of the ICP-ESSEC Chair will be awarded a DU (University Diploma) “Business and the Common Good” by the ICP.
Within companies that are increasingly concerned about their contribution to the common good: project management; impact assessment and measurement.
Within consulting firms in the fields of CSR/ ESG.
In functional areas: to raise awareness about the common good in the corporate setting.
